import {HexagonLayerDemo} from '@site/src/doc-demos/aggregation-layers';
The HexagonLayer
aggregates data into a hexagon-based heatmap. The color and height of a hexagon are determined based on the objects it contains.
HexagonLayer is a CompositeLayer and at the moment only works with COORDINATE_SYSTEM.LNGLAT
.

new deck.HexagonLayer({});
Inherits from all Base Layer and CompositeLayer properties.
- Default:
1000
Radius of hexagon bin in meters. The hexagons are pointy-topped (rather than flat-topped).
- Default:
d3-hexbin
hexagonAggregator
is a function to aggregate data into hexagonal bins.
The hexagonAggregator
takes props of the layer and current viewport as arguments.
The output should be {hexagons: [], hexagonVertices: []}
. hexagons
is
an array of {centroid: [], points: []}
, where centroid
is the
center of the hexagon, and points
is an array of points that contained by it. hexagonVertices
(optional) is an array of points define the primitive hexagon geometry.
By default, the HexagonLayer
uses
d3-hexbin as hexagonAggregator
,
see modules/aggregation-layers/src/hexagon-layer/hexagon-aggregator.ts
- Default:
[min(colorWeight), max(colorWeight)]
Color scale input domain. The color scale maps continues numeric domain into
discrete color range. If not provided, the layer will set colorDomain
to the
extent of aggregated weights in each hexagon.
You can control how the colors of hexagons are mapped to weights by passing in an arbitrary color domain.
This is useful when you want to render different data input with the same color mapping for comparison.
- Default: colorbrewer
6-class YlOrRd
Specified as an array of colors [color1, color2, ...]. Each color is an array of 3 or 4 values [R, G, B] or [R, G, B, A], representing intensities of Red, Green, Blue and Alpha channels. Each intensity is a value between 0 and 255. When Alpha not provided a value of 255 is used.
colorDomain
is divided into colorRange.length
equal segments, each mapped to one color in colorRange
.
- Default:
1
Hexagon radius multiplier, clamped between 0 - 1. The displayed radius of hexagon is calculated by coverage * radius
.
Note: coverage does not affect how objects are binned.
- Default:
[0, max(elevationWeight)]
Elevation scale input domain. The elevation scale is a linear scale that maps number of counts to elevation. By default it is set to between 0 and the max of aggregated weights in each hexagon. You can control how the elevations of hexagons are mapped to weights by passing in an arbitrary elevation domain. This property is useful when you want to render different data input with the same elevation scale for comparison.
- Default:
[0, 1000]
Elevation scale output range
- Default:
1
Hexagon elevation multiplier. The actual elevation is calculated by
elevationScale * getElevationValue(d)
. elevationScale
is a handy property to scale
all hexagons without updating the data.
- Default:
false
Whether to enable cell elevation. If set to false, all cells will be flat.
- Default:
100
Filter bins and re-calculate color by upperPercentile
. Hexagons with color value
larger than the upperPercentile will be hidden.
- Default:
0
Filter bins and re-calculate color by lowerPercentile
. Hexagons with color value
smaller than the lowerPercentile will be hidden.
- Default:
100
Filter bins and re-calculate elevation by elevationUpperPercentile
. Hexagons with elevation value
larger than the elevationUpperPercentile will be hidden.
- Default:
0
Filter bins and re-calculate elevation by elevationLowerPercentile
. Hexagons with elevation value
smaller than the elevationLowerPercentile will be hidden.
- Default: 'quantize'
Scaling function used to determine the color of the grid cell, default value is 'quantize'. Supported Values are 'quantize', 'quantile' and 'ordinal'.
- Default:
true
This is an object that contains material props for lighting effect applied on extruded polygons. Check the lighting guide for configurable settings.
- Default:
'SUM'
Defines the operation used to aggregate all data object weights to calculate a bin's color value. Valid values are 'SUM'
, 'MEAN'
, 'MIN'
and 'MAX'
. 'SUM'
is used when an invalid value is provided.
getColorWeight
and colorAggregation
together determine the elevation value of each bin. If the getColorValue
prop is supplied, they will be ignored.
const layer = new HexagonLayer<BikeRack>({
//...
getColorValue: (points: BikeRack[]) => points.length
});
const layer = new HexagonLayer<BikeRack>({
// ...
getColorWeight: (d: BikeRack) => 1,
colorAggregation: 'SUM'
});
const layer = new HexagonLayer<BikeRack>({
// ...
getColorValue: (points: BikeRack[]) => {
// Calculate mean value
return points.reduce((sum: number, p: BikeRack) => sum += p.SPACES, 0) / points.length;
}
});
const layer = new HexagonLayer<BikeRack>({
// ...
getColorWeight: (point: BikeRack) => point.SPACES,
colorAggregation: 'SUM'
});
If your use case requires aggregating using an operation that is not one of 'SUM', 'MEAN', 'MAX' and 'MIN', getColorValue
should be used to define such custom aggregation function.
- Default:
'SUM'
Defines the operation used to aggregate all data object weights to calculate a bin's elevation value. Valid values are 'SUM'
, 'MEAN'
, 'MIN'
and 'MAX'
. 'SUM'
is used when an invalid value is provided.
getElevationWeight
and elevationAggregation
together determine the elevation value of each bin. If the getElevationValue
prop is supplied, they will be ignored.
const layer = new HexagonLayer<BikeRack>({
// ...
getElevationValue: (points: BikeRack[]) => points.length
});
const layer = new HexagonLayer<BikeRack>({
// ...
getElevationWeight: (point: BikeRack) => 1,
elevationAggregation: 'SUM'
});
const layer = new HexagonLayer<BikeRack>({
// ...
getElevationValue: (points: BikeRack[]) => {
// Calculate max value
return points.reduce((max: number, p: BikeRack) => p.SPACES > max ? p.SPACES : max, -Infinity);
}
});
const layer = new HexagonLayer<BikeRack>({
// ...
getElevationWeight: (point: BikeRack) => point.SPACES,
elevationAggregation: 'MAX'
});
If your use case requires aggregating using an operation that is not one of 'SUM', 'MEAN', 'MAX' and 'MIN', getElevationValue
should be used to define such custom aggregation function.
getPosition

- Default:
object => object.position
Method called to retrieve the position of each object.
getColorWeight
(Accessor<number>, optional) {#getcolorweight}
- Default:
1
The weight of a data object used to calculate the color value for a bin.
- If a number is provided, it is used as the weight for all objects.
- If a function is provided, it is called on each object to retrieve its weight.
- Default:
null
After data objects are aggregated into bins, this accessor is called on each bin to get the value that its color is based on. If supplied, this will override the effect of getColorWeight
and colorAggregation
props.
Arguments:
objects
(DataT[]) - a list of objects whose positions fall inside this cell.objectInfo
(object) - contains the following fields:indices
(number[]) - the indices ofobjects
in the original datadata
- the value of thedata
prop.
getElevationWeight
(Accessor<number>, optional) {#getelevationweight}
- Default:
1
The weight of a data object used to calculate the elevation value for a bin.
- If a number is provided, it is used as the weight for all objects.
- If a function is provided, it is called on each object to retrieve its weight.
- Default:
null
After data objects are aggregated into bins, this accessor is called on each bin to get the value that its elevation is based on. If supplied, this will override the effect of getElevationWeight
and elevationAggregation
props.
Arguments:
objects

(object) - contains the following fields:indices
(number[]) - the indices ofobjects

- Default:
([min, max]) => {}
This callback will be called when bin color domain has been calculated.
- Default:
([min, max]) => {}
This callback will be called when bin elevation domain has been calculated.
The HexagonLayer renders the following sublayers:
